Do
you notice presidential candidates rendering lip service to the immigration
invasion? Do you see how they shuck, jive and duck the questions?
Do you watch them dance around the answers—never giving a definite
response?

Sick
of their obfuscation? Tired of their dodging it? Angry at this continued
invasion of our country?

Added
to that, our language, culture, educational systems, law enforcement,
medical systems and prisons stand in the cross-hairs of extinction.
We either stop it or legal-illegal immigration buries us.

How
can you, average Joe and Mary Citizen change history in favor of your
children’s future?

In
the following information, you may enjoy media strategies created
by top flight journalist Kathleene Parker of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Suggested
Media Strategy:

Parker
said, “I consider nothing more important to the immigration-population
movement than forcing the topic into the news media because until
the media allow a topic to become a key issue, change does not happen.

“I
needn’t tell most of you that many in the media advocate for growth
and on the rare occasions when they do utter the “P” word, it is in
the context of the birth dearth.

“I
can assure those here today that all of the environmental/immigration
battles I have been involved in have, in large measure, been won in
the media, forcing elected representatives to reverse or adapt courses
they were on before public scrutiny. I’ll also add that one reason
immigration was a hot-button issue ready to explode into the forefront
on 9-11 was because NumbersUSA.com
and other groups and individuals had quietly laid much of the groundwork
through the invaluable tool of guest commentaries and, more importantly,
letters to the editor so that the events did not occur before a totally
uninformed public.”

What
we face!

“There
is a great deal of stark data, domestically and internationally, with
which I am sure most of you are familiar, but that this is not being
reported on massively illustrates what is either the profound ignorance
of the media or the blatant prejudice of the media. As one environmental
reporter recently told me he was aware of that data but found discussing
it “too polarizing” and would therefore continue to boycott the topic.
That, incidentally, reflects a standard of journalism—or lack thereof—that
I find professionally indefensible and arrogant and that says he,
not his readers, will decide what they need to know. Bluntly spoken,
he is acting as censor!”

That’s
the bad news; the good news is history repeating.

Parker
said, “About 12 years ago, I was working with Roy Beck’s Numbers USA
attempting to get immigration into print any way we could, since it
was a topic being ignored and, sometimes, actively glossed over or
distorted by reporters. At the time, Roy used faxes or the early internet
to send action alerts to a network of grassroots letter writers and
activists, such as me, to write letters to newspapers.

“I
soon shared Roy’s belief that as soon as you tell ten thousand or
twenty thousand people something, it ceases being a secret! I knew
we were succeeding as I increasingly saw other people speaking out
on immigration. Soon, a dynamic was obvious that continues today:
an informed public on one hand and many politicians and many in the
news media, on the other, only reluctantly accepting the overwhelming
tide of public opinion.”

Parker
shows you critical points on how you change history:

“That
brings us to a critical point of journalism,” she said. “There are
three parts of any newspaper—still a key source of information for
many people and certainly read by politicians—that are read by the
most people: the sports pages, the comics and the letters to the editor.
Therefore, please do not underestimate the value of a letter to the
editor. IT IS FAR MORE VALUABLE THAN PAID ADVERTISING OR EVEN NEWS
REPORTS BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE SEE IT. If a choice must be made, always
write a letter published over a guest commentary, as it will be read,
due to brevity, by far more people—by a factor of 10.”

Parker
gives the following advice:

Absolutely
confine letters to the length specified by the editorial page. If
no limit is set, never, ever write a letter of over 200 words!

Decide
at the front end on two to three key points and confine yourself to
those.

The
more dramatic, definable and defensible letter points are the better.

To
increase your chances of getting printed, always lead the letter with
a reference to something just published in the publication you are
writing to.

Always
write your letter within one to two days after your news-hook story
appears. Sooner the better!

Recognize
the value of holidays to get things into print. Particularly stark
times for many newspapers are the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays
when they are low on staff, news is often slow, people aren’t writing
letters and editors must pickup huge amount of info from the wire
just to fill the space.

If
you see a particular local controversy, such as traffic problems,
water shortages, sprawl, a development controversy, you can sometimes
use that as a reason to approach an editor with a well- written guest
commentary.

you want more addresses, write me at www.frostywooldridge.com for
100 more email addresses of media outlets. If 10,000 readers write
letters this week, or better yet, 50,000 write, wow, talk about impact!
Heck, while you're at it, let's see 100,000 Americans write letters
this week to all the addresses above!

Do
you write one letter and forget it? No! You write weekly, monthly,
constantly. If you haven’t noticed, we have only 13 months before
the White House sees a new occupant that will be even worse than George
Bush. If that man or woman allows a general amnesty for 20 to 30 million
illegal aliens, your children’s lives hang in the balance.

In
all social change, it takes ‘change makers’ and ‘opinion leaders’
to lead the way. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Susan B. Anthony,
Eleanor Roosevelt, ML King (whether you like him or not) and other
Americans created change. They didn’t do it by complaining—they took
action!

They
created ‘critical mass’ that manifested in social movements such as
women’s right to vote or people of color enjoying equal rights. Today,
we’re engaged in a national crisis so huge that it will devastate
this country’s future on many fronts.

If
you do nothing, your children reap the whirlwind of consequences.
In the end, everything you do or don’t do—counts!
